Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 Egg
- 0.25 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 Red bell pepper, diced
- 1 Green bell pepper, diced
- 1 Yellow onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 Hamburger buns
- Optional toppings (lettuce, tomato, pickles, etc.)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, chopped parsley, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
Divide the turkey mixture into 4 equal portions and form each portion into a patty about 3/4-inch thick.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the patties in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on one side until browned. Flip the patties and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove the cooked patties from the skillet and set them aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the diced red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
Return the cooked turkey patties to the skillet, nestling them among the sautéed vegetables. Cover the skillet and let everything warm through for 2-3 minutes.
Toast the hamburger buns in a separate pan or toaster if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing a turkey patty on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with optional toppings such as lettuce, tomato, or pickles. Add the sautéed vegetables on top of the patties and close the buns with the top half.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Cajun Turkey Burger Skillet!
